This will confirm that your device has been connected successfully to your PC. But if it doesn’t turn blue then it’s more likely to be a problem with the device drivers. Moreover, tick against the ‘AP’ button and navigate to the tar.md5 file from the firmware package & select it (The firmware file will look something like: I9300TDUUGNA4_I9300TVAUGNA2_VA.tar.md5). Wait till Odin verifies the md5 hash. If it’s successful then there won’t be any warning message.
Tick the Auto Reboot option and F.Reset option located on the Odin window. Initiate the process by pressing on the Start button present on the Odin window. You’ll notice that your phone automatically reboots itself while going through the process. Make sure that you won’t remove the USB cable until the process completes, as this may interrupt it.
